“Bottom line is, even if you see them coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does.So, what are we, helpless? Puppets? Nah. The big moments are gonna come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That'swhen you find out who you are." - Joss Whedon

Another Finding Option - AFFEC's Free Matching Assistance Program

Another way AFFEC may assist families interested in adoption, is to suggest they join our Matching Assistance Program. Below
is a little about that program, geared towards home-study-ready families and
their Adoption Workers.

Matching Assistance is a password protected site and
child listings, that is helping support qualified, current home studied families
during their journey to adoption.

With our free membership program,
families have the opportunity to be more engaged during this difficult
"searching/waiting" part of the adoption process. We all know how hard this can
be on families. We are constantly maintaining our website and strive to give
families the best support, service and resources we can.

Our GoalOur
goal is to come alongside families who have been in the process for a longer
period of time, providing them with one-on-one communication, assurance and
assistance in learning how to best represent themselves in their family profile
and home study. The Matching Assistance Program is free but requires a current
home study to participate.

The ChildrenMost waiting children are OVER
the age of 6, male, are school aged, or are part of a racial, ethnic, or
cultural minority. Many of the sibling groups need to be placed together, and/or
have physical, mental, developmental or emotional disabilities. All are waiting
for the love and security that only a permanent family can offer.
